  • Hello everyone! Our game officially starts TODAY and i'm so excited to get healthy with you & finish this year strong! For those of you who may not know me my name is Lexi (fatgirlfedup). I joined my first dietbet in 2016 and it helped me personally to lose 312lbs in two years with diet/exercise. No meal plan, surgery, personal trainer, but just counting my calories, focusing on my diet with 30-60 mins of exercise 5x a week in the beginning. Here's a few things to get started & some tips:
    - Welcome to our game! Together we are losing pounds and have become a community full of love, encouragement, and support! It brings me great joy to host and I love being part of such a positive weight loss space. We will have others joining us for 14 days so be sure to invite friends,family, and coworkers. You may literally save their life just by getting them to join in on the fun!
    - Diet is key! I use myfitnesspal to track all the food i'm eating and it helped me learn about nutrition labels, log my water/workouts, and showed me my progress!
    - MOVE! Try to get atleast 30 minutes of exercise 4-5x a week even if it's just walking. Every step adds up! I started with the elliptical 5x a week in the beginning as I was 485lbs and it helped me to not feel like i was hurting my body or my knees. Start where you can and just focus on moving daily even if it's something small it all adds up!
    - WATER is your best friend! I aim to drink a gallon a day. Water helps to keep you full, boost your metabolism, and can even help your skin while losing weight!
    - Let's be friends! Be sure to tag #fatgirlfedupsdietbet on all social media so we can find & cheer each other on!
    - PICTURES. Sometimes the scale doesn't tell the full story so be sure to take ALL the before pictures. I promise you WILL want them and we can't wait to see your transformation!
    - Any technical or weigh in problems email support@dietbet.com as they are amazing and super quick with helping!

    Time to reach our goals and to fight

I'm starting roughly around your start weight Lexi, and myfitnesspal gives me around 2100 Cals currently. Sounds like yours was much lower, just curious if I should be lowering my cal count?

Along with pictures, take measurements!! That helps me when the scale isn't budging and I think I look the same in all pictures until there's a big difference. But the measurements don't lie to me!

I’m brand new to DietBet. What does the amount in the pot mean?

Cassandra A.

So whoever reaches their goal, splits the pot! Dietbet does take a small percentage for their part. But you will always get at least your bet amount back and then a little extra. Just depends on how many reach their goal. Just a fun way to stay accountable. :relaxed:

Do you have to be a member? I have already paid my $35
Just wondering about the yearly membership

Shannon L.

You don't have to be a member. If you are, you can weigh in weekly to be entered into the prize drawing.

DietBet takes 25% of the pot, and winners split the rest. I usually come out $11-$16 ahead of what I paid in.
